1927 Map of Calistoga

About this map

Mt St Helena dominates this 1915 survey of the northern Napa Valley region, anchoring a landscape defined by volcanic geology and early industry. To the south, the Petrified Forest offers a prehistoric counterpoint to the active mining operations scattered across the Miyakma Mountains and Howell Mountain. This area was a critical node for quicksilver production, evidenced by the Oat Hill Mine, Coronado Mine, and Mirabel Mine. The valley floor shows the infrastructure of the burgeoning wine and resort economy, centered on Callstoga. The Southern Pacific railroad line connects the town to agricultural outposts like Larkmead, Bale, and Dunaweal. Rural life is further mapped through isolated institutions such as the Alpine School and Pine Hill School, alongside family-named holdings like Langstry Ranch and Spring Hill Farm.
